Peter Gariepy Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 "Dear Mr. Gariepy:Here I am again, the guy from Massachusetts who keeps sending you photographs of old cars for identification. This time, it is my grandfather's vehicle, and I have no idea what it is, but I am sure that you, or someone who visits the website now and again, will be able to identify it. I suspect it won't even be a challenge...Thanks in advance.Regards,Charles Mattina" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif Holmberg Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Or maybe a 1937 Ford Slantback? (keiser31,the green car has a Swedish reg.plate)Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I see that some '37 Fords have body colour on the hubcaps and some don't. Is that a way of telling Deluxe from Standard? From what I can find out the Standards had body colour windshield frames and front grilles. I think the difference between Standard and Deluxe in price was about 10% which is quite a lot for a bit of chrome and wood grain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I know the script is raised on the 37 hubcaps as opposed to recessed on the 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodfiddler Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Without peeking, I got this identified easily. Good Job John, again as always. Leif - I think we have the same cars. Nz - I wish I could help you with that question. The one windshield wiper for the Standard, 2 for the Deluxe?Thanks Peter for helping.

Woodfiddler Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Leif - were there outward differences between Swedish exported 1937 Fords and the "stateside" models? Here is a "more local" photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Woodfiddler,I don`t think there was any differances between exported and statside models just becuse we had most of the models here in Sweden.But the slantback model wasn`t very common what I remember(Chevrolet slantback those years was more common,at least in my home village),my broders Slantback had only 35000 miles on the odo when he bought it.My school teatcher had the model you attached with a trunk.Leif in Sweden.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
